Chapter 12: The First Meeting with Cao Cao

Under Zhang Quan's intentional matchmaking, Xu Tian and Murong Hanyan became closer and closer, and under the deliberate arrangement of Zhang Quan and his wife Wang, the two also went out to play nearby for a while, although the relationship between the two is not what it used to be. However, no one took the initiative to pierce that layer of window paper. No matter in this kind of peaceful life, Xu Tian has a feeling. In such troubled times. Such a life can only be said to be a luxury, although it is owned now, but it will never be long...

Xu Tian felt right this time. Soon after he returned to the capital, Xun Yu sent someone to find him and asked him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find him. The sooner the better. Xu Tian knew that it was time to come, and finally came!

On this day, Xu Tian prepared everything, and came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion according to the road map given to him by Xun Yu in advance, and there were two squads of black-armored sergeants standing next to the tall vermilion gate, all of them were tall, standing straight, and the spears in their hands were shining in the sun. There were several squads patrolling back and forth around, and Xu Tian knew that these were only visible to himself. I'm afraid there's more to it than that.

Throwing away the thoughts in his heart, Xu Tian walked straight towards the door. The sergeants on both sides discovered Xu Tian's movements. In an instant, all eyes were focused on Xu Tian, and the spears in everyone's hands immediately turned their heads to Xu Tian, and one of them walked out and shouted at Xu Tian:

"Stop, step forward. Lawfully kill on sight!! ”

Xu Tian hurriedly took out the waist card given to him by Xun Yu and handed it to the sergeant who spoke. The man looked at the waist card, and then at Xu Tian. After a moment's hesitation, he said:

"Wait here. Don't walk around, wait for me to tell you!! ”

The sergeant turned and walked into the door, his eyes still blazing. If it was placed before the military camp training, in this kind of situation, Xu Tian would be able to go backwards and not dare to flow here...

After a short time, the sergeant came out and walked in with Xu Tian. After walking for a long time, I passed the first courtyard and came to the second courtyard, in front of a door in the middle. Xu Tian saw the elegant Xun Yu...

The two entered the room and sat opposite each other, Xun Yu looked at Xu Tian with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't come to harm, my husband has been doing well lately. ”

Xu Tian picked up a cup of tea on the table and smiled.

"What do you command?"

"I'm not looking for you. It was summoned by the prime minister, and Mr. I was afraid of meeting the prime minister for the first time, and I was not familiar with some places. Therefore, there are a few words to instruct Mr. ”

Xun Yu looked at the tea leaves in the cup and said slowly.

"If you have something to say, please speak. Xu Tianxi listened attentively. ”

"The prime minister has always loved and cherished talents, and whenever the heroes of the world come to the prime minister, the prime minister will treat each other honestly and politely. As long as there is ability, everyone will play their best role here. However, despite this, the prime minister doesn't like someone to play tricks and show off his cleverness in front of him. The prime minister is extremely smart, and no one can pretend to be false in front of him. Therefore, Xun Yu hopes that Mr. can be honest with the prime minister, and Mr. will do it himself..."

After speaking, Xun Yu got up, took Xu Tian, and walked to the third courtyard...

The third courtyard is much larger than the first two, but although it is large, it is not vulgar and gorgeous, but has a simple and elegant atmosphere. It can be seen that the person who built this courtyard must have been a broad-minded person.

In the council chamber in the middle of this courtyard. There was a person sitting, holding rice in his forehand, eating in large gulps, sitting on the ground casually, looking very casual, but no one dared to slack off on the temperament of this person. This person is Cao Cao, whom Xu Tian had seen in the Guandu camp. Cao Cao saw Xun Yu and the others coming in, put down his chopsticks, and beckoned to the two.

"Come on, come on, sit down, eat with me, come on!! Bring two pairs of chopsticks!! ”

With the arrival of the guards with dishes and chopsticks. Xu Tian and Xun Yu knelt down opposite Cao Cao upright, and Cao Cao smiled and said:

"Eh, there's no need for that, there's no outsiders here, feel free. Don't be so restrained when eating! ”

Although the other party was talking casually, Xu Tian felt a majesty hidden in it. This feeling is very mysterious, Cao Cao looked at Xu Tian and said:

"Xun Yu mentioned you to me, and also suggested that I meet with you. It just so happens that I have a matter recently, and I am thinking about it, and I want to hear your advice and fight for myself. Although Yuan Shao's 300,000 army was destroyed, the power of the Yuan family was still very large. The three little cubs of the Yuan family are still in control of Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and the land of Sanzhou, and now I want to take these three states, what is Mr. Xu's opinion?! ”

After speaking, Cao Cao put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Xu Tian.

"Since Cao Gong asked, then Xu Tian will talk about his humble opinion, after Cao Gong defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu, the Yuan family seems to be very strong, but in fact, Yuan Shao's three sons, respectively in charge of the three states, must be suspicious of each other, calculate, Cao Gong wants to take the three states, there is no need to make a big move, if Cao Gong forcibly attacks them, they will combine to deal with Cao Gong, if Cao Gong let it go, the three of them, there will be civil strife. Cao Gong only needs to add some condiments. After that, I want to take the three states, such as exploring the bag and taking things!! ”

After Xu Tian finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao calmly, Cao Cao laughed, touched the beard on his chin and stood up.

"Do you need it, their sons have been defeated by me, what big waves can these three little cubs make. As soon as my army arrives. They will sacrifice the city!! ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao laughed and left the place.

Xun Yu sighed secretly, his eyes were different when he looked at Xu Tian, he had just said this to the lord... He said to Xu Tian:

"Mr. Xu is far-sighted, Xun Yu admires!!"

"Cao Gong doesn't seem to have taken a fancy to my suggestion!"

Xu Tian said with a frown.

"The lord leveled Yuan Shao's army in one fell swoop, and his heart is high, but the lord is a wise man, he will understand."

Xun Yu was right, Cao Cao, who was high-spirited, did not take the three brothers of the Yuan family in his eyes, and was ready to attack and level the north in one fell swoop. But he didn't know that what awaited him was a defeat...
